I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Sox, does your little one also have allergies?

Have I mentioned here DH's theory about how you either get great eyesight or no allergies? Granted, he wouldn't know an allergy (or me, for that matter) without his bottle-cap glasses.

She does. Mostly contact ones though. She's been sniffly lately, and has a really strong sensitivity to sound that I'm trying not to read as OMG migraines.

Truth in posting though - the hay experience was following a late night with our houseguests who encouraged drinking wine while discussing mysygeny, womens' politics c. 1918, and the Keepsweet and Eldorado communities. So I was already without inner resources wrt resisting the hay onslaught. The latest round of allergy meds seem to have finally (24 hours later) done the trick. Eiyiyi. ::kicks self:: I was fine until about 5 minutes before we left the farm/barn place - then, I think, I turned into the straw man from the wizard of oz. with added bitchiness.

Although I do bring you some cuteness from the farm. baby goats (with ++hay): [link]

I must have really pissed off the eyesight & allergy deities in a past life, then.

this was before we moved.... the ents, they have him now.

(brought to you by some residual frustration over a long-ago trip to Ohio where he didn't think 'sinus infection' was a big deal)

I'm with Jessica. Though I have pretty mild allergies, this year has been kicking my ass.

She does. Mostly contact ones though. She's been sniffly lately,

Noah has too. When my allergies flair up, he gets all runny nosed. My ped recommended claritin for kids....we'll see.

Baby goats are always cute.

I should ask ours about that. Though by the time we take him in for his 12-month checkup, allergy season will be mostly over.

The ped also said that the rule for antihistimines is to administer only if it is stopping successful sleep or eating. She did give us multivitamins with flouride (what's the deal with that again?) and antipyrine/benzocaine eardrops for ear aches related to teething or just general ear ooginess.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So much drama outside my building! The whole street is blocked off by trucks, which are lifting stuff onto the roof of the building next door. I almost couldn't come back in!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I dunno about that theory. My eyesight is still 20/20, and I'm not allergic to anything as far as I know.(Even went to an allergist a few years back and nothing came up positive on the skin test. Diagnosis: Non-allergic rhinitis. Lovely.)

Saw "Iron Man" last night, and it was fun. Tonight we're having dinner with G's cousin and the cousin's wife before they move to Seattle.
